AT&T says it has appointed 24 new staff to support its continued growth in the Australian market. Four staff will be joining AT&T's sales and global account management teams in Sydney and Melbourne and another twenty have recently joined AT&T's Asia Pacific regional service delivery team based in Sydney. Jeyan Jeevaratnam, managing director of AT&T Australia and New Zealand, claimed that AT&T is winning market share from competitors in the relatively mature Australian market. "In the past three years, AT&T has made significant investments in Australia to build a state-of-the-art MPLS network that includes six nodes and an Internet data centre (IDC) in Sydney. We have been growing our retail revenue at over three times the market average...excluding Japan, Australia is now AT&T's number one revenue generator in the Asia Pacific region."

The expansion of the regional service delivery team is the result of Australia being designated the service delivery workcentre supporting the Asia Pacific region (excluding Japan), the main hub for the enablement and implementation management of AT&T's client networks across the region and follows the roll-out of AT&T's Labs-designed global ordering, provisioning and project management tools, to support the delivery and enablement of customer networks throughout Asia Pacific.
